 | | The celery plant is a many-branched glabrous biennial. | | | Celery in bloom is strong smelling but yields abundant nectar and is highly attractive to bees (Root 1919). | | | Because of the attractiveness of the flowers to honey bees, these insects are probably the most satisfactory as pollinating agents, provided they are present in sufficient abundance. |

| | By cultivation and blanching the stalks lose their acrid qualities and assume the mild sweetish aromatic taste peculiar to celery as a salad plant. | | | As a salad plant, celery, especially if at all "stringy", is difficult to digest but possesses valuable diuretic properties. | | | It has a furrowed stalk with wedge-shaped leaves, the whole plant having a coarse, rank taste, and a peculiar smell. |
